Let the Games Begin!
The entire Wonderland was in celebration or so the Hearts would like to believe. The town of Non'ame brightly decorated in arrangements of red roses, red ribbons braided into long running ropes draping every which way, and small statues of broken chess pieces placed amongst the streets. Larger broken statues were set up to look like they were being over come by the red roses.
The 200th anniversary of the Queen taking the throne (again) had begun, and the festivities were to last a week, maybe two. It hadn't been decided yet.
The rebels are told by the messengers of the Caterpillar to keep their heads down, but that likely won't stop the few that fought in the war nor the more anxious rebels. And, of course, the Tea House will be getting into their normal shenanigans in celebration while the unaligned are left to react.
